This Saturday evening on Fretworks, I'll have the Guitar Concerto from Brazil's best-known composer, Heitor Villa-Lobos. This piece was written for Andres Segovia, who gave the first performance of this popular work in 1956. We'll hear the Uruguayan guitarist Eduardo Fernandez in a recording with the English Chamber Orchestra.
